Out of all the directors that featured in this mini-series or the ones I worked on in the past, Hirokazu Kore-eda has been the most difficult to organise, first of all his filmography is quite expansive and I simply adore his style, so almost every piece of work from him has a positive effect on me, making it quite difficult to choose only couple of them to discuss or use in here and I tried my best to pick the best. Although every single film of his has something distinct to offer, and I will surely use certain titles that didn't get enough time in here in the future, Maborosi and After Life being the ones I regret the most not using in here. This leads to my second point, I don't think anyone might have noticed it or ever will, but I have to clear this for my sake, I usually limit the number of films used in any video under the increments of three. Making it easier for me to follow a format or system throughout my work, but I had to break that rule in here, but it does make sense too. The last video only had five films as I couldn't use more because there weren't any. So I decided to add one more in to balance all of it out, it might not align with the notion I go with while planning a video but seeing that Kore-eda has to much to offer it is as if the situation presented itself to me and I simply took it. This video marks the end of this mini series, I do have one more idea similar to this but that is far from being confirmed, it is also fairly longer and larger than this one and there is uncertainty if it is going to be a serialised or just end up as a standalone video, but it is surely coming some time next year. PS: Looking forward to Kore-eda's most recent title "Monster", it is surely going to make the overall landscape of this year's cinema a lot brighter, that is if it releases in any streaming platform in the coming months or so.
A friend just recently watched monster at the Kolkata film festival and was raving about it. And I made list of his other movies to watch because of all the praise and how good the kaibatsu trailer looked. So to now watch this video of yours discussing his movies just feels like perfect synchronicity 😁 And this was a very well made and nicely narrated video essay. Will definitely be watching these movies.
Oh I am so jealous of your friend who got to watch Monster, easily going to be one of the better films from this year. Kore-eda is one of those directors whose vast filmography is filled with wonderful titles, so please explore the ones you find interesting. Sounds like the timing of this video was really good in your case :)

Love the thumbnail progression from volumes I to III.
Thank you! I'm really glad that you like it.
